Event badges that are ready before your attendees are

Design custom badges straight from your registration list. Print them at your desk, through our print partner, or on-site. Then scan the QR code to check people in.

Trusted by thousands of event planners worldwide.

Name badges shouldn't be the last fire you put out

You've built the agenda, confirmed the speakers, and booked the room. Then the badges come back with last week's attendee list on them.

One scan and they're in

Every badge carries a Guidebook QR code. Scan it, they're checked in, the line keeps moving.

Branded badges in minutes

Pick a size, drop in your logo, choose what prints. No design queue, no three-week lead time.

No copying between spreadsheets

Badge data pulls straight from your attendee list. Update a name once and it's right everywhere.

Print-ready files, every time

Export clean PDFs sized for Letter or A4. Send them to a print shop or run them off at your desk.

A badge type for every role

Sponsors, speakers, staff, students. Each one gets its own design and its own level of access.

Attendance you can actually see

Every scan lands in your dashboard in real time. Know who showed up without counting heads.

Every badge is a real ID

QR codes tie back to a verified registration, so the person wearing it is the person you registered.

You decide what prints

First name, role, organization, QR code. Toggle on what matters and leave off what doesn't.

One thing that has really helped is it has required two offices that work with our incoming students the most to be on the same track. So I onboarded Guidebook for orientation and then we immediately said we're going to use this for our admissions event.

"We all agreed that Guidebook keeps not only our students and guests informed, but also our volunteer staff who utilize our smaller space. Having a quick and easy singular place to go for all information is key to keeping our Graduation Weekend running smoothly."

"Guidebook has been very successful for our events, so much so we have several areas of the business asking if they can use the app too."

DIY event badge printing

Design your badges in Guidebook's badge designer and export print-ready files. Print them at the office, hand them to a local print shop, or bring your own printer to the venue. You decide the paper, the timing, and the cost.

Choose what goes on the front and back: first and last name, role, organization, badge type, and a Guidebook ID QR code for check-in. Preview each badge type before you print, so the sponsor badge and the speaker badge both look right.

Late registrations don't mean reprinting the whole stack. Export only the badges you haven't printed yet and run a short batch the morning of

Professional event badge printing

Design in Guidebook, then order straight from our e-commerce store, powered by Billy's Badges. Your conference name badges are professionally printed in full color and shipped to you, ready to hand out.

No wrestling with printer settings. No trimming card stock at midnight. Just a box of finished badges that look as polished as the rest of your event.

Choose from 4" x 6" paper, 4" x 3" paper, or 4" x 6" plastic badges.

On-site badge printing

Some guest lists don't settle until the doors open. Through our partnership with Expo Pass, badges print at check-in for the people who actually show up, not the people who said they might.

Expo Pass provides what you need to run on-site printing, so you're not sourcing printers and supplies yourself. Assign badge templates by attendee type, and speakers, sponsors, and staff are easy to spot from across the room.

Already have your own printers? Pair them with DIY badge printing and print at the venue on your own setup.

Maximize audience engagement.

Connect with your audience at every stage of your event: before, during, and after. Discover why thousands of event organizers trust Guidebook’s mobile app technology to create meaningful attendee experiences.
